About this property

Valley View Cabin at Brazos House Retreat

Quiet secluded cabin, on top of a hill, with view of Brazos River Valley. (Note, road leading to this cabin is steep and unpaved, so it might be daunting to guests not accustomed to country living.) Our home is at top of the hill and we have driven this road for 22 years - without 4-wheel drive. *

Located on 38 acres with Brazos river access. There is a riverside patio and fishing deck just a quick car ride down the hill. When the river is low, there is also access to a nice beach great for children to play in shallow water, and hunting for fossils and arrowheads.

Two queen bedrooms plus a sofa with linens provided for extra sleeping for a child or teen. All towels and linens provided. Children and pets welcome.

Fully furnished kitchen - all you'll need to bring is your food.
Direct TV, Wifi, propane grill, washer/dryer.

Just 10 minutes from historic Glen Rose, and 20 minutes from Dinosaur Valley State Park, Fossil Rim Wildlife Park and Dinosaur World.

Awesome location and clean cabin with an amazing view. Several friendly dogs and other animals, as well as a swing set and trampoline were an added bonus. It does have a pretty steep, gravel road to get up the hill to the cabin.

Our stay at Valley View cabin was so nice. The river is very close, the cabin was so cozy and well stocked. There was a fire ring with porch swings that was used both nights we stayed. The kitchen has full size appliances and the host was very responsive. We will be back soon!

Cozy Scenic Cabin

Our family went for a Father’s Day weekend getaway and thoroughly enjoyed our cabin and the Brazos House Retreat property. We had such an enjoyable visit that we decided to make this an annual event. The view is stunning, that swings were fantastic, and we made good use of the fire pit and the wood provided.

Family Getaway

This cabin was such a perfect getaway home for us. We were very close to Glen Rose, it didn’t take long at all to get into town to do the activities. Property was very nice with lots of room for the kids to run around and play. They loved the swings and the daily visits from the dogs. We had never been to that area before, and it was a great experience.

It was difficult to find and understand the instructions in the dark but found the cabin after only 1 turn around. A safety light or porch light on when we arrived would have been nice. We used the water out of the sink and the smell of sulphur immediately hit our noses. We used water bottles to fill our dog bowl instead. Went to use the bathroom and i realize there’s maybe 10 squares of toilet paper on the roll, search the cabin and there is no toilet paper. Thankfully we always bring a roll of toilet paper on road trips which saved us. I took a shower and the entire cabin smelled of sulphur after I was done. There was plenty of hot water though which was nice. When I was laying in bed I noticed my rings were no longer sterling silver. The sulphur in the water had turned all of my jewelry a brownish copper color. I had to go buy jewelry cleaner before the event. The AC was phenomenal, kept it nice and cool and cooled off the cabin very quickly. I loved that every room had a ceiling fan, but didn’t love how they had not been cleaned in quite some time. The beds, the beds were extremely uncomfortable. You couldn’t turn over without hearing the springs in the bed squeak over every little move. Very hard and flat mattress. Turned on the oven and it had something at the bottom, smoke and a burnt smell filled the cabin. A notice about freeroaming dogs would have been nice too. Overall, not the best but definitely not the worst.

Great place to crash for a weekend trip to Dino valley. Yes the water system is pretty smelly and could use an upgrade, but great little place for up to a family of 4 to crash.

The property is so beautiful, and peaceful,with fantastic views, and places to rest and relax. We highly reccomend Brazos House Retreat.
